What's the use-case? How do you use the def on a daily basis?
If it's comfort and kids and commutes, long driving holidays, more road-bound with offroad jaunts.. the new one is surely the better ve ... |

A couple of friends and I did a full day in Dunkeld (fantastic facility). This vehicle is without a doubt an offroader.

LR positioned it as a "luxury adventure vehicle" rather than a "proper 4x4," which created this weird stigma.
